.. Amish White Bread

 About to leave for the store to gather bread (from scratch) ingredients.
   My husband mentioned that he would love to come home everyday to a house that smelled of fresh baked bread... so - that is what I shall master!!
 I have found an "Amish White Bread" recipe that 57,135 people LOVED and left the web page with 5 stars!!

    Pictures and comments to follow ... wish me blessings!!

 ps.. on a more personal note... I hope that my families are safe and left with joy and peace at the end of this day. And my sweet mother.. I pray that she finds healing and comfort in the next few weeks.. she misses her grand-daughters like crazy!! WE LOVE HER AND ARE ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT HER!! God is greater.. LOVE ..

While searching for the right bread flour in Safeway.. I realized we don't eat white bread .. we eat bread made of wheat. So.. I was excited to give wheat flour a try (( I hope I didn't mess up the taste.. the recipe I'm using is Amish "WHITE" bread.. lol )) Anyhow.. other than changing the bread type, I've also added less sugar.. the recipe called for 2/3 cup.. Someone left a comment saying it was too sweet.. so I only added in about 1/4 cup of sugar.. I split my large ball of dough into two halves.. I'm waiting only 6 minutes and 19 seconds for them to rise.. following that step, I will then place both loaves  into the oven where they will cook @ 350 degrees for.. again... thirty minutes! I'm super excited my kitchen should smell like baked bread VERY SOON!! "GIL" ~ Jessica
